passing model from view to controller using jquery - asp.net-mvc-3

Question

I have a view
#using staffInfoDetails.Models
#model staffInfo
<link href="../../Content/myOwn.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
#{staffInfo stf = Model;
}
<div id="education1">
#using (Html.BeginForm("addNewEdu","Home",FormMethod.Post))
{
#Html.HiddenFor(x=>x.StaffId)
<table>
<tr>
<th>Country</th>
<th>Board</th>
<th>Level</th>
<th>PassedYear</th>
<th>Division</th>
</tr>
<tr>
#Html.EditorFor(x => x.eduList)
</tr>
<tr>
#*<td><input type="submit" value="create Another" id="addedu"/> </td>*#
#*<td>#Html.ActionLink("Add New", "addNewEdu", new { Model })</td>*#
</tr>
</table>
}
<button id="addedu">Add Another</button>
</div>
I want to pass the model staffInfo to controller using jquery as below
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#addedu").live('click', function (e) {
// e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
url: "Home/addNewEdu",
type: "Post",
data: { model: stf },//pass model
success: function (fk) {
// alert("value passed");
$("#education").html(fk);
}
});
});
});
</script>
the jquery seems to pass only elements not whole model so how can I pass model from the view to the controller so that I don't have to write the whole parameters list in jquery

Answer 1

u can give ID to the form by using this
#using (Html.BeginForm("addNewEdu", "Home", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "addNewEduForm" }))
{
}
Then in the script
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#addedu').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
if (form.valid()) { //if you use validation
$.ajax({
url: form.attr('action'),
type: form.attr('method'),
data: $("#addNewEduForm").serialize(),
success: function(data) {
}
});
}
});
</script>

As I can see you trying to submit form with AJAX? Look at serialize function.
$('#addedu').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var form = $('form');
if (form.valid()) { //if you use validation
$.ajax({
url: form.attr('action'),
type: form.attr('method'),
data: form.serialize(),
success: function(r) {
}
});
}
});

You can get your values with getElementById then send your action:
$(document).ready(function () {
var select = document.getElementById('...');
$.ajax({
type: "get",
url: "get_street_name",
data: { a: select },
success: function (data) {
$('#result').html(data);
}
});
}
